READ NEWCASTLE VERDICT

White has been superb at the back for Leeds this season, registering a WhoScored rating of 7.25/10 for his performances in the Championship. He has won 3.3 aerial battles per-game and tops the division for interceptions per-game – 2.7.

This shows that he is standing out in the second tier, suggesting that he deserves a chance to show what he can do in the Premier League – especially if he can maintain his form at Leeds until the end of the season. He needs to remain consistent and keep Leeds at the top end of the table to prove that he can perform at a high level for an entire season.

Although, Newcastle will probably want Leeds to miss out on promotion, as they would likely want to re-sign the defender for their season in the Premier League.

Would he be a good signing?

Yes

No
